Octomum poses nude for magazine 'to pay bills'

Vows to stay celibate until octuplets are 18

Mother-of-14 cuts media deals to earn living

OCTOMUM Nadya Suleman has posed nude for a British magazine because she needs to "feed her kids" and "pay the bills".

With 14 children to care for, Suleman can't hold down a regular job to pay bills, her lawyer Jeff Czech said.

"She's not doing well. She's struggling financially and she does whatever she can," Czech told the Associated Press.

In photos posted to TMZ.com and published in Britain's Closer magazine, Suleman wears underpants and little else.

In an interview with TMZ's television show, Suleman said she didn't expect the photos to reach American readers so quickly, but she's not ashamed of posing for the magazine.

"I'm doing what I need to do to take care of my kids," Suleman said.

Suleman was reportedly paid $10,000 taking part and has since vowed she will remain celibate for the next fifteen years.

"I get too much male attention, but I won’t date until the octuplets are 18 - I live for them", she informed Closer.

"I know a lot of women like male attention, but I’ll go out with no make-up on and wear tracksuits, a wig and even a fake pregnancy stomach to put them off."

Since the birth, she has cut deals with media outlets and posed in tabloid photo spreads to earn a living. She has promoted spaying and neutering for an animal rights group and gotten beat up in a celebrity boxing match.

In 2009, Suleman declined a million-dollar offer to appear in pornography.

Last year, she told Oprah Winfrey she was addicted to having children and called herself stupid for her financial problems.

Poor photoshop job on the cover pic there. Head too big and completely different lighting. Are even fox noise readers fooled by this?
